    <description>&lt;p&gt;The Singles: Vince Frederick: Vocals/Guitar Phil Roth: Bass Guitar/Vocals Brian Thunders: Drums Established in 1999, Frederick set out to form a rock &amp;#39;n&amp;#39; roll band that would capture the spirit and energy that originated from Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, and all those Rock &amp;#39;N&amp;#39; Roll legends that came before. The bands 1st album &amp;quot;Better Than Before&amp;quot; (2003) released internationally on Rainbow Quartz&lt;span class=&quot;more-text&quot; style=&quot;display: inline&quot;&gt;Records, got them off to the right start. In 2007, The Singles swung back in action with their highly anticipated 2nd album &amp;quot;Start Again&amp;quot;, this time released on their homegrown label Sound Artifacts Music. 2007 was a good year for The Singles. With praise from music critics and college radio about the new record...the boys returned to the road and haven&amp;#39;t looked back since! With a DIY attitude, and songwriting that nobody can touch these days, The Singles are back in the studio again recording their 3rd full-length album. The new record will be released late 2007/early 2008 on Sound Artifacts Music. Don&amp;#39;t miss out on one of the last REAL rock &amp;#39;n&amp;#39; roll bands on the planet!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;...Embodying that very energy that made rock n roll a blast in the first place.&amp;quot; &lt;strong&gt;- Mojo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;The Singles are a difficult band to hate. You&amp;#39;d have to be a pretty cheerless individual not to appreciate this band&amp;#39;s totally infectious power-pop hooks.&amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;- Kerrang&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;quot;My favorite new band is The Singles, who have a very cool Anglo-pop thing happening.&amp;quot; &lt;strong&gt;- Little Steven Van Zandt&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;...Rarely has a history lesson been this fun.&amp;quot; &lt;strong&gt;- Rolling Stone Magazine&lt;/strong&gt; </description>
